How Does Digital Satellite
TV Work?

Satellite programming originates from an “uplink”
facility on Earth — the facility receives many sig-
nals from different sources, combines the signals
digitally and transmits to the satellites. The satellites
(22,300 miles above Earth) receive the uplink signal,
amplify it and then transmit it back to
earth in the Ku frequency band.
This signal is concentrated and
reflected to the LNBF* located
at the “focal point” of the dish.
The LNBF amplifies and converts
the signal to the 950 to 2050 MHz
range. The signal is then passed
through a coaxial cable to the receiver
where individual channel selection

and processing take place.
